I meant: "The thunderland driver can uses 3 different PHYs drivers, but me,
user, use a board with only one PHY, so I want to be able to compile a kernel
with only the tl driver and the driver for the PHY I use". The best way
to allow this is to attach the phys to the controller in the user config
file, isn't it ?
